Links 5/21: Immigration, Lebanese Violence, Blogger Purpose, Camp Obama

The resistance has started already to the new immigration reform bill (free registration required) currently making its way through Congress. Corporate lobbies are already protesting the bill they helped create, saying the legislation will do little to combat the coming shortage of workers they foresee.

Lebanese troops are fighting Palestinian refugee/militants in a widening conflict that might spark another civil war.

After all the scandals, Senate testimony, and sickbed standoffs, Bush still supports Alberto Gonzales. I think he’s the only one.

Need something to do this summer? You can go to Camp Obama and learn all about how you can get this man elected President.

FROM THE BLOGS

Why can’t the Democrats deal with Bush effectively? Well, it might have something to do with memes and colors and the history of civilization. I’m still trying to figure this one out, but it sure is interesting!

The Intrepid Liberal Journal reminds us bloggers that while calling for action and raising money is nice, our real job is citizen journalism, and it is a really important one.
